Story
In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,000-foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate. Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness, alone with the enemy closing in on three sides, beginning the most difficult and exceptional fight of his life.

Delta Force—the US Army’s most elite top-secret strike force. They dominate the modern battlefield, but you won’t hear about their heroics on CNN. No headlines can reveal their top-secret missions, and no book has ever taken readers inside—until now. Here, a founding member of Delta Force takes us behind the veil of secrecy and into the action to reveal the never-before-told story of First Special Forces Operational Detachment-D (Delta Force).

Story
Southern Afghanistan was slipping away. That was clear to then-Captain Rusty Bradley as he began his third tour of duty there in 2006. The Taliban and their allies were infiltrating everywhere, poised to reclaim Kandahar Province, their strategically vital onetime capital. To stop them, the NATO coalition launched Operation Medusa, the largest offensive in its history. The battlefield was the Panjwayi Valley, a densely packed warren of walled compounds that doubled neatly as enemy bunkers.

This unit was part of MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command Vietnam Studies and Observations Group), or Studies and Observations Group as it was innocuously called. The small recon companies that were the center of its activities conducted some of the most dangerous missions of the war, infiltrating areas controlled by the North Vietnamese in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The companies never exceeded more than 30 Americans, yet they were the best source for the enemy's disposition.

Parnell and his men assumed they would be facing a ragtag bunch of civilians, but in May 2006 what started out as a routine patrol through the lower mountains of the Hindu Kush became a brutal ambush.

Instead, they spent the next fifteen months in a desperate struggle, living under almost continuous attack, forced into a slow and grinding withdrawal, and always outnumbered by Taliban fighters descending on them from all sides.

SOG warriors operated in small teams, going behind enemy lines in Laos and Cambodia and along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, tasked with performing special reconnaissance, sabotaging North Vietnamese Army ammunition, and far more.

It is difficult to find another soldier's story to equal Captain Darrell Watt's in terms of time spent on the field of battle and challenges faced. Even by the lofty standards of the SAS and Special Forces, one has to look far to find anyone who can match his record of resilience and valor in the face of such daunting odds and with resources so paltry. In the fight, he showed himself to be a military maestro. After 12 years in the cauldron of war, his cause slipped from beneath him, and Rhodesia gave way to Zimbabwe.

Publisher's Summary
Because it’s a novel, the truth can be told. Because it’s the truth, you’ll never forget it....
Gene Wentz's Men in Green Faces is the classic novel of Vietnam that inspired a generation of SEALs. Here is the story of a good soldier trained to be part of an elite team of warriors - and of the killing grounds where he was forever changed.
Gene Michaels carries an M-60, 800 rounds, and a Bible. The ultimate SEAL, he also carries a murderous grudge against a bloodthirsty colonel who was once one of their own. To bring him in, Michaels and his men will go behind the lines, where they’ll take on 5,000 NVA in the fight of their lives. In this stunning novel, former SEAL Gene Wentz brings to life what it was like to be a SEAL in Vietnam, running an endless tour of top-secret, death-defying operations deep in enemy territory. From the camaraderie to the harrowing recons, from brutal interrogations to incredible, toe-to-toe firefights, here are America’s most feared warriors as you’ve never seen them before.

loved every chapter
like the description said non stop ambushes and battles. Their battle prep and orders are spot on, at times it almost feels like I'm in the O group receiving a FRAGO.
Some times there are very "cowboyish hoorah" moments, but hell this is Vietnam and it's d bunch of dudes operating in ungodly elements and an enormous enemy presence.
..in the end, Intel is never solid and split second hunches tend to save your ass, but the 1100 rounds of 60 ammo might help as well.

awesome. simply awesome.
Firstly the narrator is great. This is important to me. A bad narrator ruins otherwise great books, and can make ok books good.
The story told is simply awesome. Its completely devoid of all the bureaucratic crap. No politics. I thought the American participation in the war was simply opposing communism and it didn't change my mind or try to. But it changed my view of the men who fought that war. It gave me much deeper understanding of them and made me feel for them, as well as the people of Vietnam in that horrible period. It made me understand why, once the men were there, they fought so hard. It's not a story against communism or against the NV. Its a story of the very young men who went, and fought and tried their best to make the world a better place.
There's so much violence and aggression in this story that many will miss the subtlety. But it's there.
It kept me riveted to it the whole time. I just couldn't stop listening.

Good but not great
Having listened to dozens of audiobooks on war (Vietnam, WW1/2, Korean, Afghanistan and Iraq) I’d rate this a 3 of out 5. The first half of the book is a little dull and I only found myself getting more absorbed into the characters closer to the end. Good, not great.

Too much like a Hollywood movie...
Any additional comments?
Had the privilege of knowing a few seals in Viet Nam one of whom was captured,mutilated,castrated (told they did not want anymore like him) and left for dead only to be retrieved buy his buddies later. As I read his DD214 Tears welled up in my eyes and I saluted Him! GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

Realistic views of Viet Nam missions
Where does Men in Green Faces rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Once I started this book, it was hard to "put it down"
What did you like best about this story?
The characters came alive, the realism of the situations was right on, and the sensativity of Gene Wentz was portrayed well. Not everyone was a bad guy, not everyone was a good guy, that was the V.N. war.
Have you listened to any of Jeff Gurner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not. His vocal, however, was a near-perfect read, not too gruff, not too soft.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
These situations made me appreciate what our armed forces do for us every day of every year. They put themselves in harm's way; we need to appreciate them more!
Any additional comments?
Any one who was over there or knew of someone who served there would probably enjoy this read.

Killing, Revenge, and Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Would you consider the audio edition of Men in Green Faces to be better than the print version?
I have stopped buying print versions of novels in which I am interested, so I must admit that the audio edition of "Men in Green Faces" stands as my favorite by default.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Willie was my favorite character because, like my affinity for Arthur Dent in Douglas Adams's "The Restaurant at the end of the Universe," he brought a bit of humanity to the war in Vietnam for Gene. When he died and Gene started to unravel into a homicidal maniac bent on revenge, the truth of war being hell became vivid.
Have you listened to any of Jeff Gurner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not listened to any of Jeff Gurner's other performances before, but I look forward to listening to another.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Blood. Rain. Killing. Loss. The endless cycle of war in Vietnam.
Any additional comments?
I have no additional comments.

Hackneyed, trite, banal
OMG! How did this book get 4.7 stars?
Hackneyed, banal, cliche. It should be called Roy Rogers Goes To Vietnam!

The real thing.
This well narrated story takes you as close to combat as you'd ever want to be.
A great listen, to a great story, about a great man.
